Chapter 181
Vivian clutched her cellphone with trembling hands,
Her eyes, swollen and red from tears, scanned the text message over and over until she grabbed her car keys and dashed out of the house in a panic. She tripped and fell halfway to the garage.
Ignoring the blood stains on her jeans, she jumped into her car, slamming the pedal to the metal as she sped off towards Bayridge Hospital.
Upon arriving, she dashed through the hospital comidors like a headless chicken.
As a high society lady, Vivien had never bothered to learn the ins and outs of hospital bureaucracy. Her entourage of yes–men always handled such mundane tasks for her. Now, it was a nurse who approached to ask what she needed.
Vivien’s hair was a mess, her voice broken by sobs as she uttered a few words
The nurse turned grave and immediately escorted Vivien to the VIP wing
Vivien didn’t even pause to say thank you before she burst into the room.
Half an hour later she finally came to her senses, sobbing uncontrollably.
The doctor tried to comfort her, “It’s okay, you’re safe now that you’ve received the shot. What you need is some rest and observation for a few days.”
“I need to be admitted!”

Vivien couldn’t bear the thought of leaving the hospital’s protective gaze. It was the only thing that offered her a shred of comfort.
Upon her insistent pleading, the hospital processed her admission.
A nurse guided Vivien to her room where she changed into a hospital gown.

Vivien didn’t stop to question the truth and knew she couldn’t afford to take that gamble.
Her reputation was already shot. If she contracted HIV, it would be a death sentence.
She took a deep breath, dried her tears, and dialed Fanny’s number.
“Hey, Fanny. Are you messing with me?’ Vivien was ugly with crying
Fanny was eerily calm, “Did you get the shot?”
“Yeah”
“That’s all that matters. Despite everything, we’re still friends. I might have stolen your guy, but we’re not mortal enemies,” Fanny said coolly. “I genuinely like Bainbridge. I heard about Conrad through the grapevine. Anyway, you’re out of danger since you’ve had the shot. Vivien, you’re so naive. Don’t play these dangerous games again. Your brain can’t even outsmart a dog. You can only come up with such foolish plans.”
Vivien retorted with lingering defiance,

She abruptly ended the call, feeling a surge of bitterness overwhelm her.

The next day, Gwendolyn returned to the hospital from her leave.
Enoch had been giving her scupuncture treatments daily and her hand’s dexterity had improved rapidly
As soon as she set foot in the hospital, the staff of the Rehabilitation Department crowded around her
“Gwendolyn, you’re finally back!”
